Look! I think I posted on time!


Alright! Got my poo joke in, I think that officially makes me a cartoonist right? I'm still trying to figure out angles and such but I'm pretty happy with this.  Oh and this is a true story.  I was going to work, got to my truck and realized I'd forgotten my java.  I turned back and as I was walking kicked what looked to be a rock, but something seemed off...It wasn't the hard thud against my shoe I hear when I kick rocks, this was...soft. I look next to it and there's a empty fifth of vodka.  Being the smart person I am I put two and two together.  I'm not 100% certain but I feel pretty strongly that I'm correct. 


Anyway, Starcraft II and video game companies in general are really starting to irritate me with this whole Downloadable content thing (DLC).  I understand only so much can fit on a disc but at least put a finished product on there.  In Starcraft II there are 3 races; the Terrains, the Zerg and the Protoss.  As of right now, you can only play as the Terrains.  The first Starcraft was a full game in which you could and had to play as all 3 races.  The term OMG Zergrush is well known through geekdom but yet you can't make your own zergrush as of right now in Starcraft II.  Well I'll keep an eye out on patch notes but I'm a little annoyed with this.  Good news though!  Fable 3 is coming soon and looks amazing.  Check out 1up.com for more info.  

There's more I'd like to talk about but I'll maybe leave that for another post.

Comic!!! Woot!!!

 As promised!  Sorry there is a lot of fine details in this...Still working


Update on status

Is that a redundant title?  I can't figure it out.  If your updating something wouldn't that something be the status?  Anyway, all of my visitors have left now!! Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my time with everyone who was out here but I really want to get back to my normal day in day out routine and today is the day that I can finally do this.  We took some amazing pictures though that I'll probably post about on here later. 

The comic is in the final stages and I'm really getting sick of Elements...need...creative...suites.... 

Starcraft II is FTW.  A lot of people have been saying that it is nothing new and I agree.  The original Starcraft was (for me at least) the standard by which all other real time strategy games should be made after.  It was great, and intuitive.  Basically Starcraft II is a continuation of the story from one but that's a good thing when you've made the gold standard of a genre. I'm just not sure why it took 10 years to make this game. The story is alright (or maybe it's the acting) but bearable. The game play is as easy to understand as the first one was and that makes the game so much fun.  You spend more time planning attacks and fortifying your base instead of learning new commands on the keyboard. 

Goal for the night...finish comic...play craptons of SCII....do nothing else....
